Yes, this is Jesse Williams with Alpine Ascents Denali trip #7, the Magnificent Seven.
It's a beautiful day today, we carried up around Windy Corner which was windy, but not too bad, beautiful, sunny day. A little bit of hard work; everybody's feeling the altitude a little bit, but still climbing strong.

"If all goes well, sounds like some good weather is on the way and we're going to head back down to 11, spend a night and if everyone's feeling good tomorrow we'll climb back up to 14..." |

We passed teams 5 and 6 on their way down, congratulations to them both summitting. Yesterday, we passed team 4 and they butted the weather pretty good, but sounds like they put in a really good effort so congratulations to them for their effort.
If all goes well, sounds like some good weather is on the way and we're going to head back down to 11, spend a night, and if everyone's feeling good tomorrow we'll climb back up to 14 and get ourselves squared away in camp.
Everybody would like to say hello to friends and family, we love you and we miss you and we'll take to you tomorrow. Here's to great climbing.
